Homework Statement
My tutor's notes say that quality factor is supposed to be = 2π (Max. energy stored)/(energy dissipated in one cycle) . So for a standard series LCR circuit, he says:
max energy = 0.5 L I2
energy lost per cycle = 0.5 R I2 2π/ω .
..and at resonance he calculates it to be equal to be [tex] \frac{1}{R} \sqrt{L/C} [\tex]

The Attempt at a Solution
However, this is how I tried to do it:
max energy = 0.5 C V2
energy lost per cycle = 0.5 V2 /R x 2π/ω
...and at resonance this gives a quality factor of [tex] R \sqrt{C/L} [\tex]
Erm... what da heck?
